WHAT DOES RESPIROMETER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Respirometer

A respirometer is a device used to measure the rate of respiration of a living organism by measuring its rate of exchange of oxygen and/or carbon dioxide. They allow investigation into how factors such as age, chemicals or the effect of light affect the rate of respiration. Respirometers are designed to measure respiration either on the level of a whole animal or on the cellular level. These fields are covered by whole animal and cellular respirometry, respectively. A simple whole plant respirometer designed to measure oxygen uptake or CO2 release consists of a sealed container with the living specimen together with a substance to absorb the carbon dioxide given off during respiration, such as soda lime pellets or cotton wads soaked with potassium hydroxide. The oxygen uptake is detected by manometry. Typically, a U-tube manometer is used, which directly shows the pressure difference between the container and the atmosphere. As an organism takes up O2, it generates a proportionate quantity of CO2, but all the CO2 is absorbed by the soda lime. Therefore all of the drop of pressure in the chamber can be attributed to the drop of O2 partial pressure in the container.

Definition of respirometer in the English dictionary

The definition of respirometer in the dictionary is a device which measures the respiration rate of living organisms by monitoring oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. Used to show how factors such as age, chemicals and light can affect respiration rate.
